字母公仔饼 (Words Doll Mooncake)

这款简单又美味的公仔饼，安迪今年连做2回。

就是第一回的寿桃公仔饼时，获得娜娜的热烈反应，

一再要求，安迪当然乐得再度开炉。

这回找来“祝福语”的模子，应节一番，

以便吃的人开心，看的人也欢喜。

I made these Doll Mooncakes twice in a row because it was so simple yet delicious. After making the first batch of Doll Mooncakes, NaNak requested for more to be made. How can I refuse? I gladly made more, using these moulds with words so that auspicious messages could be arranged. 

中秋快乐！
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

月圆家好
May friends and families
 be reunited during the Mid-Autumn Festival!

字母公仔饼
食谱参考：Joceline Lor

份量 ：42个 x 20克

材料：
面粉 350克（过筛备用）

糖浆 230克
花生油 100克 

碱水 5克

原味纯莲蓉 150克

表层涂面：
 蛋黄1个 + 鲜奶 1汤匙或适量,搅拌均匀后过滤。
 

做法：

1）把面粉过筛备用。

2）容器里加入糖浆、花生油、碱水和莲蓉一起搅拌均匀。
3）然后拌入面粉搅拌成均匀的面团。
4）把容器盖上。放置休息 2 - 3个小时至面团不粘手。
5）把面团分割成每份大约20克，把面团搓圆，然后放入模子里印出形状。
6）烤箱预热后，把烤盘放在中层。以160度烘烤大约10 - 12分钟。
然后把饼取出烤箱。待冷一会儿（大约10分钟后），才涂上一层的蛋液。
7）然后再送入烤箱继续烘烤大约15-20分钟至金黄色或熟即可。

小小分享：

* 蛋黄加入鲜奶搅拌均匀后不会那么浓稠，涂面的时候比较容易操作。

* 待凉后才把蛋液涂上，这样烤出来的饼皮颜色就会比较均匀好看了。

* 这公仔饼如果做法正确，肯定会是松软的。而且不太会粘牙齿。而且烘好后，隔夜就可以享用了。

* 公仔饼放在铁架上散热后，隔夜就可以把它收在封密的罐子或盒子里。烘烤得干，不潮湿的话，公仔饼可以收藏好几个星期的。

Words Doll Mooncake

Adapted from: Joceline Lor

Yields: 42pcs x 20g

Ingredients:
350g plain flour, sifted
230g golden syrup
100g peanut oil
5g alkaline water 

150g lotus seed paste

For surface: 
1 egg + 1 tbsp milk, mix well and strain.
 
Method: 

1. Mix syrup, peanut oil, alkaline water and lotus seed paste in a mixing bowl until well combined.
2. Add in sifted flour to form dough. Cover the dough with a cloth and rest for 2 - 3 hours.
3. Divide the dough into 20g each. Mould into balls. Dust a word mooncake mould with some flour. Press the dough into mould. Tap lightly to demould. Arrange the mooncakes in a baking tray.
4. Bake in preheated oven at 160°C for 10 minutes. Remove and leave to cool for about 10 minutes. Brush the top with beaten egg.
5. Bake in oven again for another 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Note:
* Adding milk to the egg yolk makes it less concentrated so that it is easier to apply it on the surface of the mooncake.
* Wait till the mooncakes are cooled before the egg is applied to get a more even coloring.
* If the mooncake was done correctly, it should be soft, won't stick to your teeth, and can be eaten the next day.
 * After allowing the mooncake to cool on a metal rack, it can be kept in an air-tight container. It can be kept up to weeks if it is dry enough after baking.
